In our previous studies, it was found that myoelectric potential of biceps was changed irregularly during forearm lifting regardless of the operating conditions. On the other hand, a power assist device that achieves an assist input with a certain tendency has been developed. Although a certain assistive effect by the previous power assistive device is confirmed, this device could not change a tendency of muscle activity which may cause of fatigue of biceps during object lifting motion. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the possibility to control of muscle activity of biceps during object lifting motion by using EMG feedback system.
